Zain stepped in, calm and confident.
He saw them.
Zelia and Savra.
He smirked.
"Big sister Zelia. Savra. Long time no see."
Zelia's eyes widened.
She stood up so fast the chair behind her shook.
She rushed across the room and threw her arms around him.
"Zain… you're really here. You're actually here."
Zain gently returned the hug. His hand rested on her back for a moment.
"I'm here," he said quietly. "Took a bit of time."
Savra stayed back.
She crossed her arms, watching the scene. Her lips twitched.
"I still don't get it," she said. "How can you even be here?"
She walked closer, her red hair swinging behind her.
"The last time I saw you, you were still just an A-rank hero. Not even close to Supreme Island level."
Her eyes narrowed.
"It's not that easy to come here. Most can't even find a way in."
"And you did it… in less than a year?"
Zain chuckled.
"Well, I'm not most people."
Savra raised an eyebrow.
"Then explain."
